Sally Wildman
SALLY WILDMAN, JD, a member of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys, has represented adoptive parents for more than 20 years. Currently, Ms. Wildman represents adoptive parents in all types of adoption, and she represents adult adoptees in birth family search. During Spring and Fall seasons, she offers workshops on the adoption process through adult education programs. See Ms. Wildman's latest newsletter for current adoption process workshops. To promote dialogue on adoption policies and practices, Ms. Wildman created the Chicago Adoption Dialogue Forum. The first program, co-sponsored with Loyola University School of Law, Child Law Center, Chicago, Illinois brought together faculty from area universities. The second program, co-sponsored with Midwest Adoption Network, addressed universal adoptee issues and highlighted current approaches to birth-family search, such as the expanded Illinois Adoption Registry. When serving as chair of the American Bar Association Adoption Committee, Ms. Wildman initiated a resolution for the bar association which urged Congress to establish various benefits for adoptive families. One part of that resolution, a federal tax credit for adoption expenses, is now available to adoptive families. This credit expires at the end of calendar year 2012, unless Congress acts to extend or to create a permanent tax credit.
